Philip Martin has an interesting story today about the best year in film, ever. It's worth a read and some discussion. He opines that 2007 is right up there with 1939, 1964 and 1999 in terms of quality. I would agree. I thought 2007, as I've said many times, was an exceptional year for film.
I'm particularly fond of 1973, which brought Terrence Malick's film "Badlands," Marty Scorsese's film "Mean Streets," "American Graffiti," "The Exorcist," "Serpico," "Cries and Whispers," "The Day of the Jackal," "The Sting," "Last Tango in Paris," "The Way We Were," "Paper Moon," "The Long Goodbye," "The Mack," "Magnum Force," "The Paper Chase," "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid," "Sleeper," and "Turkish Delight" to name a few.
